Scottish Country Dancing Dictionary

This Scottish Country Dancing website is intended as a reference to the traditional dancing of Scotland. It includes dance instruction pages (Dance Cribs), descriptions of dance formations (eg Strathspey poussette), a dictionary of dance terms and many other resources. The dance cribs are succinct descriptions of over 3,000 Scottish country dances and are not as comprehensive or as accurate as the descriptions in the VISCDS Core Book .

Another good source for You Tube videos is the listing in the Scottish Country Dance Database. http://my.strathspey.org/dd/dancevideo/ Each version of the dance is graded by quality of the video so you can easily pick out the one that most clearly illustrates the dance. You can also search this database by keyword.
